Ready for 2006

Let’s recount 2005 first. It’s easier this way to know what I still need to resolve, since it didn’t get done in the past twelve months. Recalled from (flaky) memory are the resolutions for 2005:

• Quit Smoking
• Save Money
• Buy a House
• Finish a bachelor's degree
• A+, Net+, MCP, MCSE, MOUS, etc.

I did quit smoking, as I resolved to for the past twelve years, so I can say I succeeded for the whole year in that alone.

We did save some money, and then I lost my job two days before my daughter was born. So there went that part. We still haven't bought a house. I started college online, and discovered it was a scam; at least I made the attempt. I bought all the books I need to study up for all the exams I can fathom, but never finished one of them.

So the resolutions for 2006 are as follows:

• Save money
• Buy a house
• Get at least one certification
• Write more here and in more places
• Read all books left unread in my library

Okay, that last one is a stretch, but it's something that needs to be done. I resolve to carry a book everywhere I go, and spend my 2006 reading and enlightening myself. Here we go.
